In this episode, I share my thoughts after reading To the Limit by Michael Crawley, a fascinating look into the world of endurance running. I reflect on my own journey as a runner, from the early days of running naturally, through the science-driven phase, and now simply enjoying it with friends—where the magic truly happens.

I explore the parallels between Crawley’s insights and what we do at CrossFit Shropshire, where the group dynamic transforms training into something far greater than the sum of its parts. Whether it’s running or lifting, the power of community is undeniable!
